Find Bulk & Custom Antibodies

ChemiBlock™ reagents, acquired by us from Chemicon in 2006, are well recognized for their ability to block human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMA) and other HAMA-like agents in patient samples. We are proud to announce the availability of new, reinforced reagents designed to minimize interfering antibody effects on immunoassays. These reagents contain proprietary additives that actively combine with interfering antibodies to knock out HAMA, heterophilic, and other interfering antibodies.

Designed to actively block interfering antibodies (HAAAs, RF, Heterophiles) by neutralizing them, allowing the binding of analyte/antigen to capture and detector antibodies to occur. Since active blocking reagents contain specific antibodies, they may typically be used in lower concentrations than passive blocking reagents.

Passive blocking reagents comprise normal animal immunoglobulins and other components that essentially overwhelm and reduce the concentration of interfering antibodies by providing alternate binding sites to those of the detector and capture antibodies. Passive blocking reagents may be combined and/or used with active blockers to optimize formulations for specific assays.
